THE Football Association has charged Andy Morrison for comments he allegedly made to match officials during his team’s league defeat against Gainsborough Trinity last month.

Vics’ assistant manager must respond to the game’s governing body by the end of today, Wednesday, after being accused of breaking rule E3 for improper conduct.

Reddish official Anthony Moore sent the 39-year-old from the touchline during the closing stages of Northwich’s single-goal reverse.

It is the second time this season that the former Manchester City legend has faced an FA rap after serving a two-matches touchline ban before Christmas as punishment for criticising referee Sarah Garratt for her handling of Vics’ 1-0 win at Gloucester City.

The Halesowen official sent off midfielder Jamie Vermiglio on his debut – plus Tigers’ pair Tom Webb and Robbie Mustoe – in an ill-tempered encounter.

Meanwhile the FA has told in-form Wayne Riley, dismissed during the second half of Vics’ 1-1 draw at Stalybridge Celtic last week, that he will serve a one-match ban at the beginning of next season.

Andy Preece’s men close their Blue Square North campaign at already-relegated Harrogate Town this Saturday.
